I don't know where did you get the "short people get a mustang" info. I'm about 5'7" and had a mustang seat that although it was soft it placed me further back and actually higher than the stock seat. I decided to keep my stock seat and instead tried to make it as comfortable as possible. As it is, I got it right where I need it instead of having to re-do everything again with a mustang seat.
I think with some creativity and the right accessories the stock seat can be just as good.
